Wind River Canyon

Suggestion: Put a trip through the WIND RIVER CANYON in Wyoming on your bucket list. It is only 34 miles long- but it is like one of those optical illusion carnival walks where you think you are going down hill but you are really going uphill.
As we entered the canyon I had this distinct feeling we were DESCENDING but infact we were traveling up-river and slightly uphill the whole way. Of course you can't really see it in the pictures- so you will just have to go there yourself.
 

 To make it more convincing that you are desending, they have markers every couple of miles indicating the age of the rocks and they get older the farther you go...

 When you pop out of the canyon you are on a plateau with a beautful view towards the Rockies.
